Abstract	To increase student achievement, schools and districts are hiring teachers as leaders to support peers in improving teaching and learning. Their roles are variously called coach, school-based staff developer, instructional specialists, or program facilitator. Yet though many have exceptional teaching skills, they seldom have a deep understanding of working with adult learners, facilitating professional learning, and taking a broad view of the educational system. For coaches to be successful in their work and to contribute to improving teaching and student academic success, they depend on key stakeholders--associations, state agencies, districts, schools, and principals. This paper presents a discussion of the support these stakeholders provide to school-based coaches. Providing appropriate support helps school-based coaches transition from teachers of students to leaders of teacher learning. As leaders responsible for providing intensive support to their colleagues, school-based coaches are better equipped for success in this new role if they, too, have ample support.
